This is an extract from something my mother-in-law sent me.
Unfortunately, I don't know where this extract came from - it was forwarded to my mother-in-law from a friend.
I have no idea at all whether any of the suggested claims are for real.
But, I quite fancy trying this - see my comments after the quoted text.

"Amazing frozen lemons

Fact or fiction? Certainly worth a try -

Amazing frozen lemons
All it is.....is a frozen lemon

Many professionals in restaurants and eateries are using
or consuming the entire lemon and nothing is wasted.
How can you use the whole lemon without waste?

Simple.. place the washed lemon in the freezer section
of your refrigerator. Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater,
and shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle
it on top of your foods.

All of the foods will unexpectedly have a wonderful taste,
something that you may have never tasted before.
Most likely, you only think of lemon juice and vitamin C.
Not anymore.

Now that you've learned this lemon secret ,
you can use lemon even in instant cup noodles.

What's the major advantage of using the whole lemon other than preventing waste and adding new taste to your dishes?

Well, you see lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10
times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself.
And yes, that's what you've been wasting.

But from now on, by following this simple procedure of freezing
the whole lemon, then grating it on top of your dishes,
you can consume all of those nutrients and get even healthier.

It's also good that lemon peels are health rejuvenators
in eradicating toxic elements in the body.

So place your washed lemon in your freezer,
and then grate it on your meal every day.
It is a key to make your foods tastier
and you get to live healthier and longer!
That's the lemon secret!
Better late than never, right?
The surprising benefits of lemon!
Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells.
It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.

Why do we not know about that?
Because there are laboratories interested in
making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits.

You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her
know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease.
Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the
horrific effects of chemotherapy.

How many people will die while this closely guarded
secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial
multimillionaires large corporations?

As you know, the lemon tree is known
for its varieties of lemons and limes.

You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp,
juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc..
. It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting
is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors.

This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types.
Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer.
It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum
against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against
internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure
which is too high and an antidepressant, combats
stress and nervous disorders.
The source of this information is fascinating:
it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in
the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory
tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that It destroys
the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast,
prostate, lung and pancreas...
The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better
than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used
chemotherapeutic in the world,
slowing the growth of cancer cells.

And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy
with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer
cells and it does not affect healthy cells.
So, give those lemons a good wash,
freeze them and grate them.
Your whole body will love you for it!!!!!

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly."

As I said, I cannot speak for the truth of these claims.
I have absolutely no idea whether this will work for the claims given.

But I'm going to try it anyway as I love lemon or lime flavour on my food.
I know that it will refrigerate for a few days after grating and defrosting.
The other possibility that i've thought about would be to wedge and freeze a 1/2 or 3/4 of the lemon or lime (freezes brilliantly and is then great for a glass of fizzy water!!!) then freeze then grate the rest of it for my day's meals.

I find that lemon is magic with chicken, with many veggies, and with mince or pork, (well, depending how you're cooking the 2 latter, obviously).

I'm so going to try this, especially when I want the wedges (for the fizzy water) and can therefore reduce the amount of grated fruit lying around, to suit my own meals. My 2 guys, I think, wouldn't thank me for lemon over their dinners! At least, not very often, if at all.

Well, I gotta say I have received lots of "chain emails" that sound sorta like this but not specifically about frozen lemons. I'm game to give it a try for flavor ... curing cancer and other diseases? A conspiracy to suppress this amazing information? Well, maybe not ... but lemons do taste nice! Thanks for sharing!
